    How data portability works on @vana: - you control your data with your keys - full audit trail of access, whether from agents or apps - fast! ~50ms to permission data

    🧵 We designed a protocol that lets users port their private data across applications with cryptographic access control and onchain audit trails. Here's how the Data Portability Protocol works. (thread)

    Best way to manage connecting a bunch of accounts to an agent is a @vana personal server: - Use existing login details from your device (browser session stores etc) - Choose where it's hosted (can be fully local) - Connect it to any agent, see clear logs of what got accessed

    Fixing login seems like the next hurdle for agents like muse/instinct. find myself fighting with a lot of passwords / 2FA / passkey situations. would want an agent to take over the cookie/session store in one of my local machines and use it for communicating with online

    Some early internet researchers thought owning your data meant physically wearing it. Instead data has ended up scattered all across platforms Run a Vana personal server with all your private data and securely bring it across apps and agents (clunky hard drive belt optional)

    The Vega upgrade is live, as set out in the January roadmap. Four things to know. 1. AI models are pretty good now. What sets one apart is context: what the model knows about the person asking. AI tools and agents look that up thousands of times a day. Every one of those lookups

    it’s surprising to me how many people seem to not understand that great models are built with super high quality curated data finding novel ways to create / get this data is a huge edge
